I keep meaning to try this place. They have insanely good reviews on Google. Seldom down that way, but will be close by next week and definitely getting a pizza and some wings to try out. Thanks for the reminder.

I hope that this raccoon was caught. This has made me nervous about the safety of the feral cat that I look after.

Lived here for 12 years and no major complaints. Rate ups each year aren’t too bad - ranged from $50-150 during my time here - we just signed for another year. Maintenance issues are fixed same day or by the next. They usually warn you if they shut off the water to fix something in the building. It isn’t often. New this year - They are hosting events in building each month (Super Bowl watch party, free coffee in lobby one morning, wine tasting, etc).

That argument is not being made anymore though. It’s illegal to let your dogs off leash in the park and even if there was no dog park it wouldn’t be allowed. I agree a bigger effor should be made to enforce it

I think we agree that most people are ill equipped to effectively train their dog, but I don’t understand why you think dog parks are an ok alternative. They are very dangerous and not something the city should be encouraging or funding

I'm sure you have observed that most dogs you see on the street aren't trained at all, never mind trained to do intensive exercise on the leash. Nearly 25 years ago there were huge battles at the Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association meetings between the people who wanted a dog park versus the people who insisted on continuing to use the entire park as their dog run, creating a physical and health hazard for everyone else.

I have highly intelligent friends and relatives who seem utterly unable to train their badly behaved dogs no matter how well meant they are. My brother-in-law is training his young dog to steal shoes, by a bribing him to return them with a treat!

Another relative insists (after his Portuguese Waterdog bit me) that his aggression is an innate prey instinct. My unsaid response is that back in the day when dogs worked for a living, a dog that was uncontrollably aggressive or otherwise untrainable was put down and removed from the canine gene pool instead of coddled and enabled as a pampered pet.

I have had enough, and I mean it. If you have an issue, take it up with me instead of trolling or talking about my dog behind my back. No one really thinks about the unintended consequences of not communicating. This OP was garbage and attention-seeking.
